signals depend on the drive characteristic of the picture tube. The system checks whether the returning measuring
currents meet the requirement and adapts the output level and gain of the circuit when necessary. Therefore the
typical value of the black level and amplitude at the output are just given as an indication for the design of the RGB
output stage.
The 2-point black level system adapts the drive voltage for each cathode in such a way that the 2 measuring currents
have the right value. This has the consequence that a change in the gain of the output stage will be compensated
by a gain change of the RGB control circuit. Because different picture tubes may require different drive voltage
amplitudes the ratio between the output signal amplitude and the inserted measuring pulses can be adapted via the

scan amplitude the edges of the picture may slightly be disturbed. This effect can be prevented by adding an
additional blanking to the RGB signals. The blanking pulse is derived form the horizontal oscillator and is directly
related to the incoming video signal (independent of the flyback pulse). The additional blanking overlaps the normal
blanking signal with about 1 s on both sides. This blanking is activated with the HBL bit (only in the

scenes (amplitudes which exceed a value of 80% of the nominal amplitude) can be increased. This effect is obtained
by decreasing the small signal gain of the red and green channel signals which exceed the 80% level. The effect is
illustrated in Fig.22.
